Actual wealthy english people do tend to be well spoken, and because they are the only english speaking people who matter, thats the way English is Supposed to Sound.

The Solomon Islands has the right to adopt whatever foreign policy it wishes, free from interference from any other regional power just because they consider them to be in their "backyard"

I can't imagine my government managing to pull off regime change in the Solomons without loving it up in some hilarious/tragic fashion. Also we can't afford to piss off China too much, since they can just tank our economy with an import ban, so there's a limit to how much brinkmanship we can reasonably do before it has disastrous consequences.

quote:You're not the first person I've seen make this argument, that if China were ever to make a move against the Philippines, that the US would pretty much automatically make a counter-move to foil it, either involving regime change, or an actual shooting conflict, or both, simply because the US would consider the Philippines far too valuable with regards to its geopolitical interests. I'm sorry for the long-form syq, but I thought it was interesting that you can pick at someone's beliefs enough and it boils down to "yes, it would be American imperialism, but I welcome the American empire"

I find those kind of people easier to argue online than the DEM type that insist they are standing on a higher moral highground. "Liberal Democratic Value" is basically interchangable to "Western value".
